trump*'s whole story about Gold Star families wanting to hug and kiss him? Utter rubbish.

He's a germaphobe and a misanthrope. The only human touch he gets are those he initiates.

1. The whole "germaphobe" thing is bullshit.

No real germaphobe would have unprotected sex with strangers. It's just an excuse to cover up the misanthropy. It is easier get away with saying you are afraid of germs than it is to say that you don't want to have any contact with people you consider to be lowly scum. So yeah, I agree that it's rubbish. Besides, it sounded to me like he was, at some points, insinuating that they were wanting to hug and kiss Hope Hicks, who he is apparently blaming for getting him sick. What a shitshow.

Perhaps when it involves pleasure, for him, the urge overcomes the phobia.

5. That just has to do with him enjoying treating other people like shit. Nothing to do with germs

since he doesn't want them wearing masks or anything else to protect from the virus which could also help in dealing with germs in general .

6. It's all too contradictory and confusing. But then he is a demented narcissist.

I can't even begin to understand how his brain functions, and I need to stop trying.

put a disclaimer in there, saying that I'm excluding the ones of him and Ivanka going back to when she was around 12 years old!
